Summary - FLAT 3, 35 YORK ROAD GU1 4DN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Character top-floor flat with long lease and excellent transport links — ideal first home or city let.
Minutes from London Road station and Guildford High Street
A light-filled second-floor conversion in a Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom flat sits a short walk from London Road station and Guildford’s cobbled High Street. The sitting/dining room has a pretty exposed-brick fireplace and high ceilings; the generous double bedroom includes built-in storage and eaves space. The kitchen benefits from a breakfast bar and the shower room is contemporary — a straightforward, ready-to-move-in city base for a single person or couple.
Practical benefits include a long lease (share of freehold with a 999-year lease from 1970) and good broadband and mobile connectivity, making the flat suitable for remote working. The property is compact (about 602 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional loft-style layout; the sloped ceilings create character but limit usable headroom in places.
Notable negatives are practical: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building appears to be timber-framed with no known insulation upgrades, so heating costs could be higher than modern alternatives. Permit parking is available only at additional cost, and the area records higher crime levels — factors to consider for convenience and running costs.
Overall this is an attractive, characterful top-floor flat ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central Guildford location with immediate rental or homeowner appeal. The property offers clear potential with modest, identifiable running-cost and comfort trade-offs to address if you prefer modern insulation and gas central heating.
